Controversial Call Sparks Chaos: MLB Umpire Derek Thomas Ejects Cubs’ Nico Hoerner in Fiery Showdown

The ejection took place in the top of the fifth inning. Hoerner faced a 2-2 count with a runner on second and the Cubs trailing, 2-0. Tigers starter Jack Flaherty threw a 90 mph fastball that was probably low and definitely inside.
